Week 9 Hot Seat: Jesse Minter, Robert Saleh & Kellen Moore

Jesse Minter with the Ravens. Oh, dude. I would say only because of the puff and praise that he got and considering how with the Lamar of all of this, I would say a two. Ooh! Because of all of that, and then there's recency history of the job he did with the Chargers, what's happened to that defense after he left them, their parts and pieces. He inherited this defense, so it's not like he's had a lot of time to change over, bringing guys he wants and stuff. He inherited a veteran-laden team. Now, so Marlon Humphrey, Humphrey has been God awful. He's probably like played like a bottom five corner in the NFL this year. So I think a lot of the mentor of all of this, I'm willing to give him somewhat of a pass. Although I'm not saying like situationally, some of the game plan stuff has been, there's been a little bit of goofy in here where I'm like, is he a little bit overrated? But I. I think if we were in year two of this experiment and we were having this type of season, it would be like a four, but right now it's first year, so I'm going to give him a two. All right, two more. Robert Sala, one in seven with the Titans in year one. Same conversation. You got to give him more time or could he be one and done in Nashville? I think more time. I think Cam Ward hasn't looked, and I'll push back on anybody. I went and watched the film on stuff. People out here are talking about Cam Ward looked like the best quarterback in the NFL that week versus the Bengals. I question, do you have eyes? Like, Cam Ward played better than he's ever played in the rest of his career. But there's no way in hell I will go out and tweet or say that Cam Ward had the best film in the entire freaking NFL because that's asinine. But to the Robert Sala of all of this, He inherited a total dumpster fire. It's year one. Cam Ward's showing some progression. I think buys Dayball more time as the OC. I think they're going to be given more runway with this, so I'll give it a one. Finally, your guy, Kellen Moore, who won his first home game of the year. They're one in four at home right now this season. And, well, the division, again, is not good. The Saints win the game yesterday, stopping the two-point play as the Browns went for the win. What do you make of Kellen Moore's future in New Orleans? All right, so I'll give this as a two-parter. I think it should be a one. Considering the posturing that Gale has done to the media, I think it's probably like a three and a half considering she's come out here and blah, blah, blah. And I think some of this, I'm wondering how much of this is behind the scenes of Mickey Loomis, who probably has a job for life in New Orleans. Yeah. Basically kind of pointing the finger at Kellen and being like, bro, this ain't me. I didn't do this. This is on the head coach. I gave him the roster and he's not doing the things with the roster. Although let's keep it a buck here. Offensive line injuries, running back injuries, the inability to run the football. Your second-year quarterback is playing with a broken hand. The defense started off hot, looking good. They had their own injuries and underperformance since then. I think the Saints could turn it on towards the back end of the season if they get Travis Aitken back and he's healthy and they can present a run game and the defense can look. Some semblance of what it looked like towards the close. Cause they still have a lot of talent on that side of the ball for all. So I don't think this is on Kellen. I think Kellen is still a really smart head coach. I think the reason that like, because he is as good as he is the inability to do anything outside of throw the ball, but every NFL freaking defense knows that the only thing you can do is throw the ball has been a problem. So I don't lay this at the feet of Kellen Moore. I think it's been a lot of things in between, but I think Mickey Loomis is probably pointing fingers.
